Curt Shock Drop Adjustable Ball Mounts
ShockDrop™ technology is an adaptive, dynamic towing system that is engineered to suppress vibrations, rattling, strain on the vehicle and even the tendency for sway in your trailer. It does this using an integrated, flexible polyurethane isolator.
Compared to many other cushion hitch and anti-rattle hitch options that feature complex, external mechanics like airbags or bearings, ours features a simplified, internal design. This greatly reduces the need for maintenance and complex repair work, all while protecting the shock-absorbing isolator from the elements.
ShockDrop™ shock-absorbing hitches provide greater benefits for you, your passengers and your towing system.
FAQs
1. Do ShockDrop™ cushion hitches need regular maintenance?
ShockDrop™ is engineered to be virtually maintenance-free. The design is deliberately simple to reduce the tendency for excessive wear and the need for complicated repairs. Each product is equipped with an easy-access grease zerk for lubrication of the shock absorber mechanism.
2. Will the RockerBall™ fit my existing ball mount?
RockerBall™ is specifically designed to fit existing ball mounts, instantly turning them into a cushioned ball mount. The RockerBall™ fits most class 3 ball mounts.
3. Can the Rebellion™ XD adjustable shank be flipped for rise?
No, the Rebellion™ XD trailer hitch with shock absorber cannot be flipped over to provide additional rise. It is designed only for the drop position.
4. Do ShockDrop™ products have an airbag?
No, ShockDrop™ products do not have airbags. Instead they are equipped with an integrated, flexible, polyurethane isolator. The design is engineered to last longer, require far less maintenance and maintain a high level of effectiveness.
5. Does Rebellion™ XD come with any other attachments?
The Rebellion™ XD shock absorbing trailer hitch is currently only available with a ball mount tongue attachment. However, additional attachments are coming soon, including a dual ball and pintle mount.
6. Is the Rebellion™ XD difficult to install?
The Rebellion™ XD is as easy to install as any adjustable ball mount. The shank simply inserts into the trailer hitch receiver, and the tongue attachment can then be mounted, inserting the top pin first, followed by the bottom pin. Pressing down on the tongue while installing the bottom pin will ease the process.
